Why haven't I seen this thread before? I wish you the best of luck with this project and hope everyone can have fun times again! As soon as you crack the servers, I'm downloading this game on PC bundled with the megapack and it will be the best $35 I've ever spent!

[Speeder]

 

Yep the wait must be quite painful for anyone who still believe in TDU1. But it's still alive. :p

[Tob-Racer]

Those were cars that were confirmed but never released and then there was the ones that got cut for licencing issues

"Some stuff from the good old days before things changed:

 

original German Independents Showroom. Notice the Lotec logo on the shutter besides the RUF and Wiesmann one. Sadly the Sirius was never released:

original Japanese Motorcycle Specialist, before Yamaha and Suzuki pulled out of the game:

You can kinda get a glimpse of the picture of the Lotec Sirius behind the tree up stairs and the Wiesmann GT on the wall in the first image. I'm not really a Motorcycle guy so I can't identify any of the bikes in the pictures. If you've played the XBOX 360 version of this game and you did the glitch with the Volume 6 car pack, you will remember seeing the name HONDA_CBR_600 if the last car you were driving was a car from the Vol. 6 pack, we don't know if there were supposed to be Honda cars in this game. As for BMW we don't really know much other than the brand was cut due to licencing issues.

On the Rabcat website you will see pictures of the cars they have modeled and the list of cars they have modelled, you'll see the Corvette C2, 308 GTB, Miura Jota and Wiesmann GT in the picture of all the modellings and in the list you will see "Audi A6 4.2 S Line Exterior Package" and "Audi A6 S Line Sports Package Plus" what does this mean? maybe there were originally going to be factory customization options? Here are some pictures of the AC 427 http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/article/712/712214/test-drive-unlimited-ac-cobra-revealed--20060612031322639.jpg

And a video of the game in pre production which shows the Mazda RX-8

you will see it at 4:00 when they start a race. There was a picture of a Mercedes C111 on the wall in the Pagani Dealer Test Drive Unlimited - Screenshots - 41 of 650 - GamersHell.com Here is a picture of a Yes! Roadster http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/yes-roadster-32-turbo-2008-4.jpg

If the way the cars are added to the game are anything like in TDU 2 with a certain number of "slots" I think we can get these cars in here(Remember the TDU 1 Community Patch?) Totally sorry for the long post, but I'm sure it was worth it :)

 

[Speeder]

Eh that was a quite interesting video, thanks! :D

 

There should be a new version of the tools quite soon, still without the online features unfortunately (but I'm working on it no worries :p) but it will include new commands and stuff.

 

(and it will be a commandline tool now, as I am too lazy to design a new ui :twisted: )

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

Thats great to hear speeder thx for keeping us up to date ;)

 

btw, did u also find a way to disable the auto respawn thingy wenn ur in the air ?

What's that "auto respawn thingy"? :D

 

-----------------

 

I know this isn't the custom server code that everyone expects, but I thought a new version of Test Drive unlimited Advanced Tools, with more options and stuff could be nice to fill the wait. :p

 

The 1.1 version is only available in command line style (as I already said creating a decent gui is quite long and I didn't have enough time to work on a good hotkeys mechanic) and offers even more options (camera hack for freeride, designer mode for the race editor, custom resolution for windowed mode...). I'm working as hard as I can on the multiplayer part, so don't loose hope, it will come one day. :cheeky:

 

Also it is still a little bit buggy, but I'll fix that when I'll have time. :)

You read correct not wrong. ;)

[Ryzza5]

Except for J's last post, in which case you read both of them ;)

[Stifler123]

What's happening Speeder? How is project going? Im hoping that you are still working on that. :) Cant wait to cruise with friends in TDU!

[Eudemon]

His quarterly update report is due in the next few weeks so we should see him around then. :cheeky:

[iLLGT3]

He shall call us all to the boardroom in the next coming weeks with the fiscal update.

[Stifler123]

I think that in this release TDU will be online again. I dont know why, but I got some fellings for that ^_^

[Kn0wldg3]

I've got a question for Speeder, will we be able to play online with Project Paradise with TDUPE 2.5? Because I've editted some cars' perfomance.

What I did was increase the amount of power and torque.

And another question: Will we be able to play online with environment mods?

Thanx in advance Speeder. :)

[Dux]

Lets first wait to see if we will be able to play online at all. :D

But i hope we will play online.

I am not Speeder, but i think since server won't be official, we might be able to use mods normaly, but again, lets first wait and see how things will work.

[Stifler123]

Well, I am not a Speeder, but see how will things work. :)

In this Project Paradise addon, there is alot of changes that disables some major checks in-game, so I think there will be possible to play with TDUPE, but not 2.5, maybe 2.77..

And environment mods, god.. Ofcourse, it's your game graphics (in-game graphic), and it will not take any effect to other players on the server, same like on server by himself.

Enjoy mate :)

[Kn0wldg3]

Thanx Dux and Stiffler123, for the answer, now let's hope it will be finished and released.
